Today's word is brick

It was decided early on that taking the faux brick paneling out of the kitchen just wasn't an option now. Maybe down the road, but not now. Too much work and time.

So then I decided to paint it, and then I saw the Gossip Girl wall and started contemplating that route (read about it here). Ultimately I decided that even though I loved their wall, it just didn't go with my house. It was too punchy and urban. I wanted cozy cottage kitchen, not modern, swanky kitchen. So we took about 3 different mistint tan paints from Lowe's (does anyone else buy these - $5 for a gallon!), mixed em together, and my momma went to town painting the brick Friday night.

I can't believe how big of a difference it makes! I know longer have to worry about Big Bird popping in to my Sesame Street red brick kitchen!

Hats off to you for a painting job well done. By the way, I'm holding a giveaway on my blog for Orglamix Organic makeup and you're welcome to come by and enter. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2010/12/orglamix-organic-mineral-makeup-review.html
